Chapter 2

Sunlight hit Kit's eyes; she blinked and sat up suddenly, aware she was still in the Matrix. Her memory was hazy; all she could remember was having a headache. She held her head in her hands, the headache was still there, but it hurt a lot less.

She looked up and around, she was in a well furnished room, lavish decorations, deep colours, expensive wall-paper... It was the chateau.

Kit stood up quickly, why was she here! She tried to think back, she remembered Vlad trying to help her. He must have brought her here. She looked over to the door, it was open. She reached for her guns, gone.

This wasn't good.

Kit still didn't know what to think of Vlad, he was a Vampire, something she had never come up against before, she had no idea whether he was trustworthy or just another goon of the Merovingian's.

She headed for the door, looked around the corner warily and stepped out, she had to get to an exit, there was no telling how long she'd been in the Matrix and every second that she stayed meant another second the machines in 01 could send Sentinels towards the ship to destroy her crew mates.

Another thing that troubled her was that if it was, indeed, morning it meant that Morpheus would be awake, she had lied to Link about Morpheus's permission for her to enter the Matrix, if he knew that she was there he would be furious.

Kit crept down the hallway, she remembered, from her previous stay at the chateau, that the Merovingian's phone in his office was the only phone that she could exit from. She sighed; she couldn't exactly remember where it was... The headache didn't help.

-

The Merovingian strolled down the hall, Cain and Abel followed him, ensuring his safety. They were bored and tired, he had called on them early this morning to guard him, and all they really wanted to do was sleep.

Abel sniffed the air, a strawberry smell floated around his nose, he nudged Cain who also smelt it.

"Sir" Abel said quietly "Something demands your attention."

The Merovingian turned to look at him "What is it?" he sighed.

Abel looked over to his cousin who was still sniffing the air "We think its Kit." He replied.

-

Kit looked back around the corner she had just passed, she could feel a light tingling on her skin, there standing in the middle of the hallway stood the Merovingian, Cain and Abel stood by him.

"Shit." She said under her breath.

Cain and Abel looked down the hall, they saw her easily.

"Definitely Kit." Cain grinned.

"Give me your gun." The Merovingian said angrily.

Kit ran down the hallway away from them.

"Get her! I want her alive!" The Mero shouted at the two Lycans.

Cain and Abel sprinted down the hallway after her; this was something they had not been expecting at nine am.

Kit ran as fast as she could, she knew that if the Lycans did get a-hold of her she would be at their mercy; her headache would make sure of that. She ran around another corner and past a few stone statues, she passed doors, she knew most of them would be dead ends; she couldn't take the chance of getting trapped.

Cain and Abel had her in their sights; they sprinted a little faster, putting all their energy into catching her. They were five metres away, three, they were almost on top of her.

Kit tripped; they all fell over, Cain and Abel landed in a heap, Kit had rolled and laid in the middle of the hallway, a bit carpet burnt but still breathing. She sat up and shook her head, it still ached, and what's more her skin burned, the Lycans were too close.

-

The Merovingian had followed them as quickly as he had felt necessary, still holding the gun. He turned the corner into the hallway and saw Kit trying to stand up, she fell sideways and hit a wall.

Cain and Abel got up and saw Kit and the Merovingian; they instantly stood behind the little rebel so she couldn't escape.

Her head hurt, a very powerful programme stood nearby, last time she checked that was the Merovingian, and last time she remembered he was holding a gun. Things didn't look so good. She stood up straight, feeling dizzy, and faced him.

"What are you doing here?" the Mero asked evenly.

"Good question." Kit replied.

"I've had enough of you." The Merovingian growled "This time I will not miss!" he aimed the gun at her and fired.

Kit watched as the bullet sped toward her, she concentrated, it slowed down but didn't stop, her mind was foggy, the bullet was going straight for her side.

-

Vlad had been close by, hidden in the shadows, watching what move she would make to evade her predators. He was surprised when he saw that she was still weak from the previous night, this couldn't be good.

-

The bullet sped up again, Kit couldn't stop it, it hit her side like a ton of bricks, she fell back beside Cain and Abel, cringing, the pain was agony, plus the pain of being in such close proximity to more programmes.

She sat up carefully and held her side, blood oozed out of the wound, between her fingers. She stood up slowly and glared at the Merovingian "And you're still a crap shot. Jesus Mero, I'm like four feet away from you."

It was true; Cain and Abel had the blood splatters to prove it.

The Merovingian held the gun to her head "Let me try again then." He was about to pull the trigger when Vlad tackled Kit to the ground, the bullet flew between Cain and Abel and hit the wall behind them.

Kit and Vlad hit the ground, Kit cringed, she was close to passing out.

The Merovingian looked pissed "What do you think you are DOING!" he shouted at Vlad.

Kit lay on her back, her eyes were screwed up and she was still holding her side, a crimson stain slowly spreading over her clothes.

Vlad stood up and walked over to the Merovingian, saying very quietly "I have a plan, sir, please be patient."

"What is it!" the Merovingian asked angrily.

"I'm going to turn her into a Vampire, she'll listen to me after that, sir." Vlad whispered so that Kit wouldn't hear.

The Merovingian smirked "You'd better hurry; she won't last for much longer."

Vlad walked back to Kit and picked her up in his arms "We'll be in the Attic" he said and carried the rebel away down the hall.

-

Vlad laid Kit down onto his bed, he listened to her heart beat, slower and slower, she had passed out and was breathing shallowly, he looked down at her face, so angelic and peaceful.

He knew she was close to death, he could sense it, what he would do is save her. He would make her listen to him, he would tell her the other rebels were wrong, and in doing so he would save the Matrix and be the Merovingian's favourite.

Being treated like a king was good, and seemed worth the teen's life.

He thought about the consequences for a moment, the gift he was about to grant her, it would supply her with powers, make her stronger, easier to control, but it would also give her weaknesses. Sunlight, wooden stakes, crosses, holy water...

He shrugged, calmly watching her slip away.

It was for the greater good.

Vlad lifted Kit's wrist up to his mouth, her skin was paler then earlier, he smiled and bit into her flesh, piercing the vein beneath. Blood splattered around his mouth, he drank her blood hungrily, it had been too long since his last teenager.

He pulled her wrist away from his mouth and turned to his own wrist, he bit into his own flesh, a bloodied gash appeared, he hung it over Kit's mouth, letting the drops slide down her throat.

Vlad smirked, it was done, he left the room, planning on returning later on in the day to see how she was.

-

Morpheus stood by kit back on the Neb; Link was searching the Matrix desperately, not knowing that she was in the chateau.

Neo and Trinity walked in a shot while later after waking up late, they looked over to Morpheus.

"What's wrong?" Trinity asked.

"Kit lied to Link so she could go into the Matrix, something happened involving a Vampire, she disappeared and a short while ago she fell unconscious." Morpheus replied, he checked Kit's stats again, like he had done only three minuets before.

"Should I go in after her?" Neo asked.

"No, I won't risk loosing you too." Morpheus sighed and looked back at the screens showing the green scrawling binary code.

Link's eyebrows furrowed "I can't find her sir, this is basically telling me she's not In the Matrix."

Morpheus sighed deeply "Keep looking."

-

Kit's eyes blinked open for the second time that day, she felt cold, she sighed and closed her eyes again, reaching for the sheets she pulled them back over her to warm up on the comfy bed.

Comfy bed?

Kit sat up and looked around... This wasn't the Neb, that was for sure. She stood up out of the bed but wobbled on her feet, she sat back down. That's when she realised... The air was buzzing, her headache was gone, she could see every little detail in the surface of the floor, she could hear the wind blowing around outside, she could smell the warmth of the bed...

She shrank back into a corner, all these new feelings scared her, she was afraid, what made her more afraid was what it might mean. She held her hand up in-front of her face; her skin was as white as snow.

Emotions washed over her, she hid her face in her hands and didn't move.

Vlad pushed the bedroom's door open, he saw Kit in the corner and smirked, he changed his expression grudgingly to a sympathetic look. He walked over to the rebel and touched her shoulder, causing her to jump.

Kit looked up at the Vampire "What did you do?"

"I saved you." Vlad replied "Without you the rebels won't be able to destroy this... Matrix."

"Why would you help me?" Kit growled.

"Because you're different than the others, you didn't try to shoot me, you accepted me... so I helped you when you needed help." Vlad smiled

"I never wanted to be like this." she told him.

"Well now you have no choice. Now, you need to get out of here, follow me to a phone, you can call your crew on the way." Vlad held out a hand to her.

"You're letting me go?"

"You have to come back; otherwise you won't survive for long." Vlad told her.

Kit nodded, she took his hand and got up off of the floor and followed him out of the room. Vlad handed her a mobile and she made the call to the Nebuchadnezzar.

-

Link heard the buzzing in his ear and answered the call "Operator."

"Link, it's me." Kit replied into the mobile, she looked up at Vlad to see if he had watched her dial the number, he was looking ahead of them down the hall.

"KIT! Where are you? Are you alright?" Link asked frantically.

Kit sighed and smiled "I'm fine, just fine; I just need to know where the nearest phone is."

Link scanned the Matrix again but still couldn't find her. "Where are you!"

Vlad slipped a key into a lock on one of the nearby doors and swung it open, revealing an alley way, he motioned her out.

"How-"

"I'll see you soon" he grinned and closed the door.

Kit walked over to the door, she opened it to a deserted warehouse, she shivered and closed the door again. "I don't know where-"

"It's alright, I got you." Link smiled on the other end "Just head for maple street, three blocks right, there's a phone box on the corner."

"Thanks." Kit said and hung up, she ran down the alleyway till she got to the end, she turned right and ran down three blocks till she came to a sign that read 'Maple Street', she spotted the phone box on the corner, it began to ring, she ran over to it, crossing the road, a car swerved towards her, she jumped out of the way, rolled and ran to answer the phone.

Agent Smith watched the rebel disappear in his rear-view-mirror; he grinned and sped off down the road.
